CHS bending check

Calculations in accordance with BS5950:Part1 and the SCI 'Steelwork Design Guide to BS5950'

Span =3m
Section size - 193.7x10.0 CHS
Section class - 1 (Plastic)
Steel grade - S 355
Design strength of steel = 355 N/mm2

Design forces - maximum span moment = 20 kNm

- left support reaction = 10 kN
- right support reaction = 20 kN

Load Description Type A B C Gk Qk

Point 2.0 10.0 10.0
End restraint type: (As defined in Table 9)
Left hand end - Compression flange laterally restrained. Beam fully restrained against torsion. Both flanges fully restrained
against rotation on plan.
Right hand end - Compression flange laterally restrained. Beam fully restrained against torsion. Both flanges fully restrained
against rotation on plan.

Section provided with full lateral restraint in accordance with clause 4.2.2.

Determine capacity of the section

Shear capacity

In accordance with clause 4.2.3.

P = 0.6*py*(0.6*A)
v

hence P = 0.6*p *(0.6*A)/103

v y
= 0.6*355*(0.6*5770)/103
= 737.4 kN

The maximum applied shear force is less than 0.6*Pv, hence section subject to LOW SHEAR.

Moment capacity

The section capacity for low shear in accordance with clause 4.2.5 is
M = p *S /106
cx y xx
= 355*338000/106
= 120.0 kNm

but limited to M = 1.2*p *Z /106

cx y xx
= 1.2*355*252000/106
= 107.4 kNm

In accordance with footnote to clause 4.3.7.1, no check for lateral torsional buckling is required.

The maximum applied moment is not greater than Mcx, SECTION OK.

Deflection

The maximum deflections for E = 205000 N/mm2

I = 2440 cm4
